Experience rejuvenating Ayurveda treatments at the foot of the imposing Himalaya Mountains. Embrace true tranquility as you live in harmony with untouched nature and immerse yourself in the exploration of Nepal's distinctive culture.
Where you are going...
Begnas Lake Resort & Villa is positioned 12 km away from the bustling mountain town of Pokhara, about 200 km from Kathmandu, Nepal. This location provides awe-inspiring views of the snow-capped Annapurna peaks in the Himalayan mountain range, reaching a height of 8091 meters. It also showcases terraced rice paddies, a lake filled with crystal-clear mountain water, orange trees, coffee plants, cardamom plants, and other subtropical vegetation, offering a diverse and vibrant natural setting.
Why you’ll love it...
Breath-taking nature, unique Nepalese culture and some 2.5-3 hours’ bliss in the form of Ayurveda treatments. All at the foot of the awe-inspiring Himalaya Mountains. While the Annapurna peaks showcase their snowy splendor from above, the resort situates you in a mild climate zone at a lower altitude. Nestled on a forested hill along the tranquil shores of Begnas Lake, the resort offers a haven of peace and quiet. Immerse yourself in the serenity of the surroundings. Explore Nepalese culture through excursions to places like the Shaman Institute in Kathmandu or the monasteries around Pokhara near Lake Phewa. Embark on a hike or mountain bike ride at the base of the Annapurna. As you traverse the lake's periphery, encounter the vibrant local wildlife, including colorful kingfishers and lively monkeys. If fortune smiles upon you, you might even hear the gentle bellow of a shy clouded leopard engaging in its nocturnal discussions.
A harmonious life is one that is in sync with Mother Nature. Begnas Lake Resort & Villa endeavors to achieve this by integrating centuries-old Nepalese Ayurvedic knowledge with traditional Ayurveda from Southern India. The majority of the herbal blends and therapeutic oils originate from Kerala, the birthplace of Ayurveda in South India, and are crafted by some of the most respected medicinal Ayurveda producers globally. However, classical Nepalese texts highlight unique and rare medicinal herbs found in the vicinity of the resort, known for their regenerative and health-restoring properties. To capitalize on this, Begnas Lake Resort & Villa is in the process of establishing its own production line, thanks to its dedicated organic garden. The Ayurveda team comprises two professional Ayurvedic doctors (one male, one female) stationed on-site, along with two male and four female therapists. The resort features four heated treatment rooms. The doctors, chef, and yoga teachers collaborate closely to ensure that each guest receives personalized and tailored care.
Take a refreshing dive in the rock pool with clear water from a nearby mountain spring. The water streams down to the lake, ensuring the preservation of water life without the need for chemicals. Nestled in a tranquil corner of the hotel, the yoga and meditation pavilion hosts experienced teachers for both morning and afternoon sessions. During the colder months (December to February), yoga classes are conducted indoors. For a truly immersive experience, the spa features a traditional wood-fired sauna, ideal for the winter months, and two mineral hot tubs heated using heated stones.

We love
The quiet zone beside the Ayurveda centre
As part of their cure, guests can stay one night at the sister hotel in Kathmandu free of charge, travelling on to Begnas Lake Resort & Villa the next day
A boat trip to Begnas bazaar boat station in one of the resort’s own rowing boats. Did you say rowing boat? Yep: boats with engines are prohibited so as to preserve the quietness and beauty of the lake
The view: the mirror image of the Annapurna in the crystal-clear water of the lake is unbeatable. When did you last look up at an 8km-high mountain?
Good to know
The entire resort is no-smoking

Een paradijsachtige plek: vredig en mooi. Erg leuke en aangename mensen, geweldige en professionele Ayurveda behandeling met gepersonaliseerde yoga. Verrassend brede verscheidenheid aan lekkere vega gerechten! Verder waren er geweldige wandelingen en trektochten plus zwemmen in het meer.
We hadden echt een goede tijd en kunnen de drukte van het dagelijkse leven weer aan!
Het personeel was erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Het feit dat je in de middle of nowhere zit heeft wel wat speciaals. Zo kan je even ontsnappen aan de drukte in Pokhara. Naast het zwemmen in het zwembad, is er ook de mogelijkheid om te zwemmen in het meer. Het eten is heerlijk (vooral de kip in bruine saus) en de bedden slapen ook lekker. Echt een aanrader als je er even tussenuit wilt.
Beste reizigers, ik verbleef meerdere dagen in het Begnas Lake Resort. Het is een prachtige plek met zeer aardige, authentieke medewerkers die hun best doen voor uw welzijn. We hadden een rustige week gepland met ayurvedische behandeling, maar het werd nooit saai. Naast de dagelijkse behandeling, zijn er geweldige mogelijkheden om te wandelen (gidsen worden vanuit het hotel verstrekt), bezoeken in Pokhara, boottochten, twee dagelijkse yogasessies. Het eten is uitstekend! Deze week gaf me een geweldige verfrissing! Accommodaties zijn erg gezellig en ik ben dol op de kleine, natuurlijke bungalows!
